I need your help to protect Mauna Kea! I’m asking everyone I know and everyone I don’t to take a photo of themselves holding up a sign or they can write on their shirt, or their body, whatever they feel, the words “WE ARE MAUNA KEA” and ask their friends, family, and fans to click on the link in my profile to sign the petition and learn more. We need 1million signatures. Please help, this is more than just about Mauna Kea it’s about Mother Nature and preserving her for future generations.

So they want to build a Giant Telescope and science thing on Mauna Kea, a mountain/dormant volcano on The Big Island of Hawai'i. Normally I’d be all for it, but if you take a look at the letter they’ve sent their governor, there’s lots of historical and cultural sites, and it’s apparently home to a lot of rare organisms, including Hawai'is state bird. There is already an observatory on Mauna Kea, which is a coveted site for astronomy things because it’s very tall and very dry and the summit peaks above the clouds. 

Like, science is great and all, but looking into space at the cost of the environment here on earth and the people who live there is not cool. Community backlash should be enough to stop this; sites important to people native to the land should be protected. Why not renovate or update the existing telescopes on Mauna Kea? Like, it’s an issue of science (which i love) vs people, culture, and preservation, and I think it’s important to listen to and support the people that live there and have a cultural connection with the mountain.

So sign this or whatever, and not just cuz Khal Drogo says to.

whoa is that the like 30ft telescope they wanna build that canada just agreed to help fund?

shit son.
